Back in 2004, after Kirsten Storms' primetime show was canceled, wasn't there a rumor that Kirsten asked Corday if she could return to the role of Belle? But Corday refused because Martha Madison was playing Belle at the time. I always thought that might've caused some tension between Martha and Kirsten. (If the rumor is true, then I'm glad that Corday refused because Martha was always my favorite Belle.)

I didn't hear it exactly like that... I think what happened is that Kirsten asked (not sure if it was Corday) but the answer was no just because Martha had shaped the character into a different character, rather than just kind of place-holding the old character. Whether that caused bad feelings or not, I can't say, but I agree that these two don't seem like bff's.
